Reading Wonder has changed the way I look at people who are ‘different’. This is a book about a kid named Auggie who has a facial disorder called Treacher Collins syndrome. Because of this syndrome, Auggie gets teased and pointed at by so many people. But he makes his first true friend and enemy when he starts school. This book talks about Auggie’s experience in middle school, and how some people didn’t want anything to do with him. This book teaches us that everyone in the world is unique, but you can’t just determine that by looks. I give this book five-stars because it has everything, tearjerkers, drama, happiness, friendship, and comedy.

At first, she’s ashamed. Ashamed of her hearing disability. She wasn’t born like this. At the age of six, her hearing started to worsen, until she needed a huge hearing aid that was strapped to her chest. But after starting school, Cece makes friends, and learns the meaning of friendship. At school, she learns to convert her disability into a superpower for herself. There is no stopping El Deafo now, as her hearing aid, the thing she was ashamed of, is now her most special possession, as well as her new superpower! Ultra hearing is just one thing she can do…

This story is so hilarious, and it was a joy to read!
